Shinnick Depression and Shinnick Anxiety are owned by Shinnick Depression Trust

The therapy models for treating depression and for treating anxiety were developed by Des Shinnick at his Vivachi NLP – Centre of Health practice in Auckland, New Zealand. Des has used the processes with hundreds of clients with high levels of success.

 

 

Our Core Beliefs and Values

We want to see these models of therapy widely available from certified practitioners. They have a very high success rate for changing depression and anxiety quickly and effectively.

Both depression and anxiety can have a significant effect on peoples lives and the lives of those around them. Shinnick Method represents a significant advance in the treatment of these conditions.

We are seeking to ensure that certified practitioners meet a high standard so that clients and the medical community can rely on high levels of skill.

We will do all we can to thoroughly research this model. We have commenced our first Clinical Trial on depression with the University of Auckland School of Medicine. We are in first stage discussions on a second Clinical Trial. It’s important to us that clients consistently experience their depression significantly changed or gone. It’s even more important to have this researched, so that the medical community can refer clients through for this highly successful non drug treatment.

We will do everything we can to keep the costs low.

University of Auckland School of Medicine
– Registered Clinical Trial on Depression

We have tremendous support for this model from the University of Auckland. They have tested the process with patients.

As a result of seeing, experiencing and testing the process we have worked collaboratively with the University of Auckland and developed a shorter form of Stage 1 Shinnick Depression Treatment for training to General Practitioners (GP’s). One GP used the process eight times, seven which resulted in the patients having no measurable depression a week later, with the eight patient being unable to engage in the process. The GP had not been trained in the full process. This high level of success is consistent with our client experience.

The University of Auckland together with Des Shinnick and a team of Medical Professors, GPs and Researchers, from Auckland, London England, Melbourne Australia, Colorado USA and Canada have commenced a Registered Clinical Trial on the short form Stage 1 Shinnick Depression process.
